Five disasters in World T20

Sri Lanka dismissed Netherlands for just 39, the lowest ever T20 International innings total. In fact three of the lowest totals in the World T20 have come in this edition.

Sri Lanka shot out a hapless Netherlands for just 39, the lowest ever T20 International innings total, in a Super 10 match of the World Twenty20 Chittagong on Monday.

Put into bat, the Netherlands could survive for just 10.3 overs as their batsmen were simply run over by the Lankan bowlers.

Only one batsman Tom Copper could reach double digit figure of 16 while five of them were dismissed for nought as Dutch batsmen made a procession to the dressing room at ZahurAhmed Chowdhury Stadium.

This was the lowest ever T20 International innings total, the earlier lowest being the 56 scored by Kenya while chasing a target of 163 against Afghanistan at Sharjah Cricket Stadiumin September last year.

Here's a look at the lowest totals ever in the World T20.
